Sandra Bullock’s new film, The Proposal, is No. 1 at the weekend box office.
The movie — which also stars Betty White and Ryan Reynolds — sold an estimated $34.1 million worth of tickets during the three-day period beginning June 19, The Walt Disney Co said on Sunday.
Bullock last went to No. 1 in North America with the 1999 film Forces of Nature, which co-starred Ben Affleck. Her previous best opening was $17.6 million for her most recent film, Premonition, in March 2007.
“It definitely met and exceeded our expectations,” said Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group. “In a summer with a lot of sequels, it’s always nice to have an original movie.”
After two weekends at No. 1, The Hangover slipped to No. 2 with $26.9 million.
